I feel like im the only person in the world who isnt excited for this game. I dont care for GTA, they just feel super clunky and sloppy to play. (I know, no one asked.)
You're not the only one, friend. The only thing I care about is what sort of pricing hijinks they get up to, which could have industry-wide consequences.
Spend 10 minutes trying to negotiate a doorway or ladder, and you call this clunky?!
Yeah, no one plays GTA for the gameplay mechanics, they play them for the RP or the chaos, or both.
I played GTA IV mostly because the mechanics were fucking awesome. The driving was incredible for an open world game like that. Euphoria was dope.
The first seconds of the GTA V gameplay trailers hinted that they neutered the driving. Then they announced the driving was ported from a Midnight Club game and that was the last nail in the coffin for me.
Tried the game once at a friend's house and the gameplay feel was so shit I never played it again. I knew I'd always be distracted by it.
Like, I play clunky games like Arma 3 and DS2, but neither bother me to the amount GTA does. Maybe I just dont like the core gameplay or somethin.
I feel like GTA is definitely more clunky than those two games. Might be because the animation feels wrong for some reason.
